ShareTHE EFFECT OF GARMENT DESIGN ON THE THERMAL INSULATION VALUES OF CLOTHING.
Author(s) : MCCULLOUGH E. A., JONES B. W., ZBIKOWSKI P. J.
Summary
AN ELECTRICALLY HEATED MANIKIN WAS USED TO STUDY THE EFFECTS OF GARMENT DESIGN AND FABRIC TYPE ON THE THERMAL INSULATION (CLO) VALUES OF GARMENTS AND ENSEMBLES. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT FABRIC INSULATION AFFECTS CLOTHING INSULATION BUT NOT IN THE SAME DEGREE FOR ALL DESIGNS. THE DESIGN VARIATIONS WHICH ALTERED THE AMOUNT OF BODY SURFACE AREA COVERED AND THE LOOSENESS OR TIGHTNESS OF FIT PRODUCED THE MAJOR CHANGES IN CLOTHING INSULATION.
